 Dear People of Saint Pius X:
 
With a core volunteer group of about 40 parishioners, Deacon Mark and I began a Long Range Planning Process for our Parish.  We base our work on the books titled, Rebuilt, and Tools for Rebuilding, written by Father Michael White and his Pastoral Assistant Thomas Corcoran. The book has a well written forward from Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan, Arch-Bishop of New York.  The works are focused on renewing Catholic Parishes based on themes “of faith in action and hope” from the National Conference of Catholic Bishops.
 
 So far, we met seven times.  We began with the basics of reviewing our mission and vision statements and understanding the demographics of our parish as a community of believers.  Deacon Mark and I spoke about the process in five different homilies to make you are aware of the meetings. We are striving to make our parish welcoming, vibrant and sustainable for future generations. A long range plan is not just about us in the present; the plan is also for our future generations of Catholics.
 
 At this time, we are analyzing our parish structure, organizations, committees, facilities, worship, music, faith formation, leadership methods and more. While no topic is off the table in our sessions, we are focused on the core truths of our Catholic Traditions in Word and Sacrament. We are not a “business;” we are a community of faith based on Gospel Truths and Church Teaching. The heart of the world-wide Church is the parish. We want our parish to be the best, safest and most hospitable community possible for all believers who wish to be a part of us. As of this date, we are taking a short break in the process to focus on Advent and the Christmas Seasons. We will begin meeting again January 10 after the Saturday 4:00 PM mass and you are welcome to join us.
